Sometimes hiring a car and driving is still cheaper than the other options.

320 miles for a racing event is nothing IMO. Happily did that for Donington trips back in the day, and LM is almost 900.
Yeah exactly! WGI is 300 miles from my house, and I did that twice this year on weekend trips. Heading to a big event in two weeks that's 350mi, not batting an eye.

Then again, it's like the old saying - "In Europe, 100 miles is far, in America, 100 years is old."

I always thought it was SUPER embarrassing for those BTCC teams that wouldn't go to Knockhill because it was "too far."
